The Montenegrin forward is pondering his options following a very disappointing season for Viola and the club chiefs recently confirmed reports that Jovetic could leave the club if he wanted to.

Jovetic has so far been silent on the matter, but it is believed he is only waiting for the right offer before expressing his desire to leave.

That offer seems to have already arrived, as La Gazzetta dello Sport reports that Chelsea have made a €25 million bid for his services.

The Blues are searching for a new striker as Didier Drogba is set to leave the club and they believe the Montenegrin would be a perfect addition to the squad.

Chelsea’s technical department was waiting for Roberto Di Matteo to be confirmed as the boss before they start making their moves in the transfer market and now that the Italian was officially appointed, the Blues are expected to be much more active in their pursuit of new signings.

New Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers is keen to add some young talent to his squad and Tello – who only has one year to run on his current contract – could fit the bill.

The 20-year-old has represented Spain at youth level and is highly regarded in La Liga and if Barcelona are to sell, they want a decent return.

A lot could come down to what the player and his representatives think of a potential move though. Even if a fee is agreed, moving abroad at 20-years-old is a massive step.

Perhaps Tello needs to assess whether he is going to get a game at Barcelona in the next couple of years. If he is not, moving to Liverpool and a new challenge in England might be the way forward.

Liverpool also need to decide whether they want to spend £7m on a player that isn’t proven at the highest level quite yet. They would be taking a calculated gamble on finding someone that can get them crucial Premier League goals.

As with many transfer stories, this one looks set to develop over the next few weeks.
